Untitled (An Archive of Queer History) is a constructed archive echoing the lack of queerness in the institutional archive, the familial archive, or the healthcare archive.
The work consists of boxes made of impenetrable concrete, fragile plaster, or useless latex. Using notions of collection care to create a failed archive in it’s ability to store, preserve as well as be accesssible. All contents is not seen on view, and ambiguous as to if it exists at all.
